Flames goaltender Roman Turek injured his knee during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Buffalo, reports TSN.ca. The Flames recalled rookie Dany Sabourin from the Lowell Lock Monsters of the American Hockey League to backup temporary #1 netminder Jamie McLennan. Sabourin was 2-0 with a 1.50 goals against average in two starts for the Lock Monsters, and McLennan is 2-0 with a sparkling 0.00 goals against average in 97 minutes over 2 games. McLennan had to be sharp coming in when Turek was injured after having a horrendous training camp. Now...we Flames faithful must put our hopes and dreams on McLennan.

ARGH....that is a scary thought!

"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon. Need I say more?"

Well, in NHL 2004 I traded Turek to the Rangers for Jussi Markkanen (nothing more surreal than a goalie wearing an Oilers mask & Flames jersey), and I traded McLennan to the Isles for DiPietro. No chance in hell of that happening in real life, but I'd rather have a back-up (McLennan) and a rookie (Sabourin) than Turek and anybody.

McLennan made 20 stops in a 3-2 win over Minnesota tonight. Click Here (TSN.CA). He is now 3-0. Maybe he is just on a hot streak, but he is playing better than Turek ever did.You know with Minnesota and Anaheim both struggling, the flames might have a shot at making the playoffs.

It;s still pretty early...but we are all allowed to dream....
